Houston - Sugar Land - Katy, Texas


What is BOTOX® Cosmetic used to treat?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The most common areas treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic include:

  • Frown lines
  • Crow’s feet
  • Brow creases

How does BOTOX® Cosmetic Work?

BOTOX® Cosmetic works by temporarily relaxing your muscles. When injected into the muscles in your face, BOTOX® Cosmetic interrupts nerve signals that cause tension. The end result is a noticeably smoother, more youthful appearance.

How long do the results from a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment last?

Results from a single BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment generally last 3 to 5 months. Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Malik Kutty can safely re-administer BOTOX® Cosmetic injections every 4 months, or whenever you begin to feel like you could use a touchup.

Is BOTOX® Cosmetic Safe?

BOTOX® Cosmetic has been determined safe for use by the FDA. Every year in the United States, millions of men and women choose to have BOTOX® Cosmetic injections due to their safety and effectiveness. Particularly when compared to surgical options, BOTOX® Cosmetic offers a very safe and pleasing end result.

Side effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic are rare and temporary. Some redness, mild swelling, and discomfort may be present in the injection site for 1 to 2 days following your treatment. Dr. Kutty will discuss this and other risks with you during your initial consultation.
